Ron Vincent graduated with a B.S. in Geography from the University of Utah in 1992. Since then, he has worked in applying GIS to many organizations across many industries for 24 years. His primary experience involves building GIS solutions for the U.S. military, which includes the U.S. Army, Navy, and Marine Corps. It also includes building custom solutions for utilities, mining, healthcare, banking, commercial business, national parks, and so on. This has amounted to 100+ projects related to implementing Esri's GIS technologies. Because of a variety of industries and projects, Mr. Vincent has had the opportunity to be a developer, analyst, consultant, trainer, and manager of the GIS projects. Over the years, he has developed and conducted both formal and informal training sessions. This includes training parcel mappers in the local government, GIS analysts in many industries, soldiers in the U.S. and foreign militaries, and junior and senior developers using a wide range of technologies.

Mr. Vincent lives in North Carolina with his wife Sandy. He has four children (Naudia, Spenser, Zach, and Kjersten). While not working, he enjoys reading (software books, of course) and traveling around this awesome world we live on.
